(NEXSTAR) - Ski jumping features six Olympic events and four primary scoring factors as athletes prepare for competition on hills reaching heights of 420 feet. The sport has been part of the Winter Olympics since it made its debut in 1924. Scoring for the sport is determined by distance, style, wind and gate position. While the sport has a century-long history, wind did not become a factored component in scoring until the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Style points are awarded based on a competitor's control and power during the jump. As for style, if your jump is perfect, if you've got the right power, if you're bold, if you've got the precision and the fluidity and the control, you can get a maximum of 60 points. The Olympic program includes three events for men, two for women and one mixed competition. These take place on two different hill sizes: the 322-foot Normal Hill and the 420-foot Large Hill. The Large Hill is a new event for women, while the Super Team event is a new addition for men. Competitors must follow strict regulations regarding their equipment and physical condition to avoid being removed from the competition. Disqualifications can occur if the suit material is incorrect, dimensions are off or if an athlete's body weight fluctuates. The Lake Placid site is a historic location that previously hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980. The iconic towers at the complex are the tallest structures between Albany and Montreal. In addition to being an active training and competition site, the facility includes three smaller jumps specifically for youth development.
